My Muscles

If I weren't afraid of heights
I'd climb the Eiffel Tower
And I'd look into your eyes
And say I love you
And if I weren’t afraid of love
I’d love you every way I could
And then love you some more
So you’d know it’s true
If can be a reality with strength
But I’m afraid to flex my muscles
I don’t really need to know the point of everything
But If can really put a strain on being strong
If the grass is greener on the other side
I’d go there and I’d find out for myself
What I’ve been missing
And if you say you need more time
I’ll wait for you until you find
Yourself so you won’t have to wait for me
If can be a reality with strength
But I’m afraid to flex my muscles
I don’t really need to know the point of everything
But If can really put a strain on being strong
If you’re climbin up and you fall down
Then I will catch you
And I’ll set you right back on your feet again
And if you feel like everyone’s against you
And I sensed you would
Don’t worry, cause I’ll always stay with you
If can be a reality with strength
But I’m afraid to flex my muscles
I don’t really need to know the point of everything
But If can really put a strain on being strong
I don’t really want to let you go so won’t you run away with me

Little Row of Boxes

Call me analogy, compare things to you and me
The birds in the air and the fish in the sea
Call me epiphany I’ll come around when you’re asleep
And make you realize what’s supposed to be
You’re the one who breaks me when I try to stand on my feet
So I hate you but I need you
Call me security you come to me and I will keep
The bad away and bring the good back in
Call me mediocrity, it’s not as good as good would be
But I’ll work up to it eventually
You’re the one who breaks me when I try to stand on my feet
So I hate you but I need you
Don’t call me the one
Or I will be afraid and run away
Just say I’m fine for now and that’s okay
My eyes are changing colors with the
sky and now I wonder why
The portrait of your face has gone away
Call me simplicity, just try not to confuse me
And I’ll do the same for you if you agree
Call me your luxury, cause that’s all that I want to be
Admitting that is my discovery
You’re the one who breaks me when I try to stand on my feet
So I hate you but I need you
Don’t call me the one
Or I will be afraid and run away
Just say I’m fine for now and that’s okay
My eyes are changing colors with the
sky and now I wonder why
The portrait of your face has gone away

Down to the River

I walked up to the road
And I thought I walked with you
But when I turned and looked around me you were gone
Well I had a little feeling this would happen pretty soon
But maybe not with you
I guess I was wrong
So I went down to the river and I find you and I said
It's getting cold, my friend, oh, let's go on home
Well I walked up to the road and I was lookin at my feet
But when I turned and looked around me you were gone
So I went down to the water and I sat there for awhile
As the sun began to set but not for long
Cause you came down to the river and you found me and you said
It's getting cold my friend, oh, let's go on home
So we walked and walked and walked until our feet they became numb
And as our ears grew cold our minds began to roam
And we walked and walked and walked some more
Without saying a word but when the sun came up we found our way back home
Well we came across an old man and he told us of his life
But when he told us of his wife, began to cry
So I reached out with my hand, the old man smiled and walked away
And though he didn't have to say, I think I know why
So we went down to the river and we found him and we said
It's getting cold, my friend, oh, let's go on home
So the three of us we started on our way into the night
And with the moon our only light we found our way
And when we got back to the world, we found it wasn't very good
Though none of us thought that we would, we turned away
But they came down to the river and they found us and they said
It's getting cold, my friend, oh, let's go on home
So we walked and walked and walked until our feet they became numb
And as our ears grew cold our minds began to roam
And we walked and walked and walked some more
Without saying a word but when the sun came up we found our way back home

I'll Always Be Around

Look into the blue, it won’t show you what to do
But it sure is nice to look at when you’re down
Listen to the breeze, it won’t tell you who to be
And it won’t care where you’ve been or what you’ve done
It doesn’t matter what you do
I’ll always be there for your
Even if my feet don’t always touch the ground
It doesn’t matter where you go
The only thing that you need to know
Is I love you, and I’ll always be around
If you go away, I know I will find a way
To be with you, somehow if you, want me to
And if you choose to stay, the sky above will turn blue from grey
And no, no nothing will matter at all except me and you
It doesn’t matter what you do
I’ll always be there for your
Even if my feet don’t always touch the ground
It doesn’t matter where you go
The only thing that you need to know
Is I love you, and I’ll always be around
Look into the blue, it won’t show you what to do
But it sure is nice to look at when you’re down
Listen to the breeze, it won’t tell you who to be
And it won’t care where you’ve been or what you’ve done
It doesn’t matter what you do
I’ll always be there for your
Even if my feet don’t always touch the ground
It doesn’t matter where you go
The only thing that you need to know
Is I love you, and I’ll always be around
Yes I love you, and I’ll always be around

The Fall

I don't think that you know how much you've changed
My point of view
She made me let her say I told you so
When it came to you
I don't really need you, but I want you more than anything at all
And I will willingly agree to take my seatbelt off so I enjoy the fall
I don't know what it is
that makes you different from the rest
But until you prove me wrong
I will assume I've got the best
I don't really need you, but I want you more than anything at all
And I will willingly agree to take my seatbelt off so I enjoy the fall
So hopefully tomorrow comes on time
And with any luck yours is as good as mine
I don't think that you know how much you've changed
My point of view
She made me let her say I told you so
When it came to you
I don't really need you, but I want you more than anything at all
And I will willingly agree to take my seatbelt off so I enjoy the fall
